    1. @mrJwlock In a country where socialism is used as a slander, I expect nothing else from the uninformed.

    2. Marxism didn’t destroy the Black Wall Street nor Colfax, Elaine, Wilmington, Atlanta and Rosewood! Keep up and read up!!

    3. @Todd Uninformed adults who can only parrot others misinformed ideas, appear to be more dangerous –
      Can you articulate why / how Marxism is destroying the US?
      Can you even define Marxism? Coz im actually surprised you can even spell it at this point.

    1. You and Nancy Pelosi lol…. Do you think George sacrificed himself or was he murdered? Which is it? If anyone did sacrifice him it probably leads back to Nancy her self. Soon the entire world will know the truth about this despicable racial division being pushed.

  1. Shout out to George Floyd on twelve months of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it.

  2. When I was a kid in the 80’s & 90’s I wanted to live in the US. Everything was bigger & better.
    Now i’m an informed adult… not so much!

  3. Sure, can be an interesting topic, I just don’t think CNN is the best for this, they’ve lost credibility by just obeying the Democratic party and it’s policies, acting like propaganda (like Fox News). What one needs to learn is think critically for themselves

  4. I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate George Floyd on one year of sobriety. Way to go fella 👍

  5. We’re in the end times.
    Jesus is coming to rapture His believers soon!
    He loves you so much! Get on the lifeboat that is Jesus, while you still can. You do not want to be here for what’s coming when God quits restraining and the unseen realm wreaks havoc on the earth.

    “I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.” (Isaiah 44:22)
      For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast.
      (Ephesians 2:8-‬9)

    THE GOSPEL:
    1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
    2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
    3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
    4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
    (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

    THE PROMISE:
    In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, (ephesians 1:13)

    ⁹that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

    If you find yourself left behind after millions are raptured, in the Great Tribulation,  do not be deceived by the fake ufo alien agenda the gov is setting up, they are demons,  and DO NOT take ” the mark of the beast” It’s eternal hell if you do
    God bless everyone in the name of Jesus

  6. George Floyd’s little girl was right. He’s going to change the world! And no one is going to stop this movement! Glorious!

  7. From Stilwell OKLAHOMA I can at least listen. Also Retired Navy Intelligence here. Not a troll. Educated about my heritage.

  8. Feel free to rain curses on me 4 doing this, feel free to call me names, but if you walk in my shoes I bet you’d understand why I’ve decided to speak up. I’m an orphan and I’ve got one sister, she’s my only sibling, we lost our parents in the space of 5 months to different tragedies in 2017 which was obviously the worst year of my entire life. Ever since we lost our parents words cannot begin to express the level of pain and penury we’ve endured over the years, we’ve even dropped out of school Bcs we can no longer pay our school fees, I had a small job that was helping us survive but I quit the job Bcs I was raped and sexually assaulted multiple times by the monster who employed me, unfortunately he got away with it Bcs of how corrupt our police system is. It’s almost impossible for us to eat right now, it breaks my heart seeing my only sister Sharon cry Bcs of hunger, it tortures me mentally, emotionally! The country I live in right now is undergoing a serious insurgency and is still running rampant and we do not have access to proper sanitation and protection, no government aids, no food stamps, we are being attacked by Boko haram and Some unknown gunmen who have displaced thousands of people From their homes, we are not safe anymore, nobody is safe here, I sincerely need all the support I can get, food is so hard to come buy, 😞sincerely I’m being tempted to take my life some times due to the level of hardship and frustration, Most times we go days without food, I’m using a free WiFi to put this message out, I Want to plead for little financial support, life Has been way too brutal for us, we don’t have any groceries available for us to feed with, I need your help so we can at least buy some food items to survive on while I continue my search for a job, This is a Genuine plea for assistance 😥.
